Alice in Wonderland
I was posing for this illustration as reference – 9 month pregnant. It was quiet a challenge to hold this pose until my husband was done taking the picture. Of course, I took out most of my belly My husband posed for the rabbit as reference. He wasn’t really happy [...]
The Princess & The Pea
Currently I am working on a series of new illustrations for little children. I guess “think pink” describes pretty much the direction I am taking with this project. This illustration is the first of whimsical little paintings in pastell colors showing princesses, ballerinas, teddy bears and such…whatever a little child might like.
The illustration is done [...]
Mobile Bay – Where Did The Oil Go?
It’s finished!
While I was painting a subtitle idea for this illustration came to me: “Where Did The Oil Go?” I thought of the oil spill that happened not too long ago and just wanted it to be part of the painting. Because of it, I had to make some ‘minor’ adjustments such as the black [...]
The Kiss
The idea for “the Kiss” was born when I saw a photograph of myself showing me with this really long stretched face (I don’t even know how I did it). It didn’t take me long to decide that the illustration needed a frog as counterpart. To keep everyone’s attention on the frog and me, I [...]

Any more questions?

The Wacky Shrimp
My latest job was a large illustration for the Wacky Shrimp Fish Restaurant in Daphne. I finished it in about 10 days and it’s now hanging in the Restaurant.
Each of the three paintings was so large that I had to work on them in my garage. It was so much fun to do [...]
